Radiation expert Professor Magda Havas, of Trent University in the UK, says while microwaves are suposed to have mechanisms to protect against leaks, many still emit harmful radiation.

From promoting cataracts to leading to changes in blood vessels, she described the ways regular use of microwaves may be harming our health.

Double-barrel roll

TEST&TAG's commitment to delivery of its services saw the start of a partnership between TEST&TAG and Ssang Yong New Zealand. Ssang Yong now provide 2WD and 4WD drive vehicles to all of our out-of-city technicians that have to contend with more diverse and challenging driving conditions. This ensures our services can be delivered with greater safety for our team. Part of this relationship was to race one of these slightly modified utes in the Ssang Yong Actyon Series by company director, Ben Forrest. However, he got more than he anticipated during race 3 at Pukekohe with a spectacular double-barrel role all of his own doing, then continued to drive away.
